What should be the cream for summer care

The main requirement for a summer cream for oily skin is a combination of lightness and effectiveness. The weightless “breathing” texture will not create the effect of a mask on the face. Products in the form of fluid, emulsion – an ideal choice.

As part of a non-comedogenic formula, the following are welcome:

  • hydrofixators (hyaluronic acid, algae extracts, glycerin, sugars);

  • substances that reduce the production of sebum (zinc, extracts of oak and witch hazel);

  • matting components (perlite, synthetic micropowder, silicon derivatives);

  • plant extracts with antiseptic properties (chamomile, sage, green tea);

  • antioxidants (tocopherol, vitamin C);

  • set of sun filters.

The composition plays a very important role when choosing a product.

But it is recommended to part with fruit acids until autumn. They increase sensitivity to sunlight, provoking hyperpigmentation. If you still use an acid-based cream, include an SPF 50 product in your beauty routine.

Varieties of creams

In the summer you will need a certain set of funds.

  1. Moisturizers for oily skin. Use them in the morning and evening.

  3. Corrective creams for oily problem skin. Reduces oily sheen and the visibility of pores, evens out the surface of the skin.

  4. Sunscreens with a complex of physical and chemical filters.
